Bridgeport Fittings 242-SBLU Set Screw Coupling

Bridgeport Fittings 242-SBLU is a 1-inch trade-size, steel, blue, non-insulated EMT set-screw coupling designed to join two lengths of electrical metallic tubing. It features a powder-coated blue finish for easy color matching with blue EMT and is listed to UL 514B, reflecting its use in standard low-voltage conduit installations. The overall length is 2-1/2 inches and the outer diameter is about 1-5/16 inches, providing a compact yet solid connection for 1-inch EMT runs. Fastening is accomplished with set screws, typically furnished in a tri-drive configuration (tri-drive slot/Phillips/Robertson head screws) to accommodate common drivers. This coupling is commonly used in low-voltage wiring, data communications, CCTV, and network/security cabling where color coding aids identification and installation speed. Packaging is commonly offered in multipacks (for example, 20-count), supporting efficient installations in residential or commercial projects. In color-coded blue, the 242-SBLU ensures quick visual tracing of conduits while delivering a secure, code-compliant joint for EMT systems.
